Ever since a break in, we use a 12L Pacsafe portable safe and lock it to the front seat. Throw laptop, GPS, etc in there.

I too had this happen. I think it's actually this slowness/stickiness that causes the regulator to fail, like it's having to work too hard to move the window - just a theory. I googled around a...

Re: Colorado Time??
